Some medicines are safe alone. Mix them and they become a lethal poison.
As a doctor, here are 5 classic drug combinations people accidentally take that land them straight in the casualty.
1. Viagra + Chest Pain pills.
Nigeria keeps saying it doesn’t have enough doctors.
We have only about 50,000 doctors serving over 200 million people. That's 1 Doctor to over 4,000 patients.
You'd expect every doctor willing to serve to be encouraged.
Instead, one is detained after carrying out a menstrual hygiene outreach in Kaduna State.
Another 238 young doctors who returned home to practise wake up to an unexplained increase in their induction fees from ₦265,000 to over ₦415,000.
We cannot keep discouraging the very people we desperately need.
I respectfully appeal to the @KadunaMOH, @GovKaduna, @WHONigeria, @NGRSenate, @NGRPresident, and @Fmohnigeria to ensure Dr Al-Amin regains his freedom, and to the @MDCNOfficial to review this new fee.
Just this week, WAEC registration fees jumped from 27k to 50k.
Today, MDCN suddenly increased registration fees for foreign trained doctors, from 260k to 400k.
Everything is going up except people’s incomes.
You can’t keep increasing fees while people’s income remain the same.
Is MDCN even whining us?
What do you mean you're requesting 400k+ to register foreign trained medical student.
What sort of blatant wickedness is this!
Please let's tag all the appropriate authorities.
This blant wickedness must not stand!
The funny thing is that if we don't all unite to fight it, we'll all suffer for it soon.
Because nothing will stop them from requesting that doctors start paying 100k or more to renew license.
This injustice must stop!!!
@EgoMbaise I just thought to let you know that you’re doing a great job by documenting your housejob experience, I wish I did mine this way.
You’ll be grateful you did and on some days it may feel like a lot but you’ve got this💗
It has been the norm in recent years, but it is still mind boggling.
How does a country treat healthcare professionals so poorly??
This country cannot run without them, yet they are never paid or treated fairly.
Very soon, we won’t have any doctors in Nigeria.
This is wrong though.
Breast cancer even though has a genetic basis is still multifactorial.
Which means apart from genetics, things like lifestyle, race, exposure to carcinogenic substances, exclusive breastfeeding (in this case), age menstruation was started, menopause and more influence risk of Cancer.
If you trace everyone's family tree back, you'd probably find one chronic illness in the lineage.
If we all used this, no one should be married ,because there is an illness that probably runs in your family too.
